If you have bad brake shoes, a new clutch will wear out soon, unless the motor burns out first!
Crunch into the search window, "replacing direct drive brake shoes", If it fails the test with the tranny coupler, you have bad brake shoes.

Richappy is correct, HOWEVER, I have been working on these washers since they were introduced in 1981. I have NEVER had to replace "Brake Shoes" I think you will find that replacing the clutch will take care of your problem. Have a great day!!!!

I also have been fixing these since then and recently have seen a lot of the "newer" ones with really BAD problems with dragging brake shoes. I have seen motors burn out or motor epoxy failures jamming the bearings.
The brake shoe rollers wear out because they now never oil them in production!!
